I just thought of one more reason "Why Cookbooks Are Here To Stay," Moldy Cheese Day! That's right folks, today is National Moldy Cheese Day and have I got a book for you!
...Roquefort is considered as the "King of cheeses". It has a tingly pungent taste and ranks among blue cheeses. Only the milk of specially bred sheep is used and is ripened in limestone caverns. It has the cylinder-shape with sticky, pale ivory, natural rind. Ripe Roquefort is creamy, thick and white on the inside and have a thin, burnt-orange skin. The ripening of the cheeses is in the natural, damp aired caves found under the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon...(cheese.com)
Don't you just love "moldy" legends!
The Legend of Roquefort Cheese
Long ago, a young French shepherd boy took his sheep out to graze near the little village of Roquefort. During this time a sudden downpour occurred which forced the boy to take shelter in a cave. When the rain stopped, the boy had to go out and round up the sheep so that he could take them home. However, he had forgotten his lunch. It would be several weeks before he would return, to that particular cave, to find that his lunch was still sitting where he had left it. The bread was dried and had crumbled away and the cheese seemed to have veins of green growing throughout. Although it did not look to be very good, the boy was very hungry and took a bite from the discolored cheese, and decided that it tasted better than any cheese he had previously had. So, the boy ran down to the village, shouting, "a miracle, a miracle," The people that gathered around the boy sampled the cheese, and from that day on they began bringing cheese to the caves around Roquefort so that it could be transformed into blue cheese. The same caves are still used for the manufacturing of Roquefort Cheese, today. This is the story that is so often told that even schoolchildren, by the time they reach the second grade, in Roquefort, know this story, verbatim. (source) Some say, it was on June 4, 1070, that a charter was granted to the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, in the Auvergne region west of Provence, for the production of the cheese. (source)
Roquefort It's Caves and It's Cheese
Roquefort Cheese In History
And look what we have for Apple Month And Dessert Month, a Roquefort Apple Dessert.
Another good reason Why Cookbooks Are Here To Stay?
Cookbook Party: Week 1I must say, I'm quite impressed with this weeks contributions for the Cookbook Party. I was a bit worried at first, you know how bad I can be at directions and "rules." (does Picnic Day ring a bell:) It seems I have a bit of honing to do on the invitation post. So, please excuse the lack of titles and adaption notes in some of the entrees. After all, the party was "thrown" together as a blogoversary Surprise Party and we'll be celebrating all month!!! Just in case you want to refresh your memory, and perhaps check and see if I've done any revisions, just follow the Cookbook Party link in the sidebar on the left or this one:)
Cookie Month#1 Pam, hostess of Gone ta Pott, chose a recipe for Pecan Pie Cookies from the Southern Living 2000 Annual Recipes Cookbook. Don't they look yummy!!!
Cranberry MonthFor Cranberry Month, we received two entries and would you believe, one for Cranberry Chutney and the other for Cranberry Sauce! We have #3 our third entry from Mae, hostess of Mae's Food Blog, who used home made cranberries in her brownies rather than chocolate chips or walnuts. Sounds good, doesn't it?
And we have #8 Channon from Chan Knits who dug out her Cranberry Sauce recipe to share. Duckie thanks you too Chan:)
Dessert Month#2 Joyce adapted her recipe for Minted Strawberry Cupcakes on her blog, Kitchen Flavours. The recipe is from Wild About Cupcakes by Rachel Lane. I just want to "pluck" one right now!
#5 Lidian not only introduced us to a "Dessert From Out of the Air," she also celebrated "the Original Radio Girl," Vaughn De Leath, and her favorite dessert but, you'll have to pop by Kitchen Retro to find out what it is...
#10 Trisha Faye is new to Months of Edible Celebrations. Put on you game face and give her a warm welcome will ya? The theme of her blog is "A Reason to … Celebrate, Remember, Have Fun!" Any wonder why we've "met." She brought Aunt Mae's Chess Pie adapted from The Texas Experience: Friendship & Food Texas Style cookbook.
Pasta Month#9 Once again from Trisha, a Pierogi recipe for National Pasta Month. She also shared this recipe on her blog for Pierogi Day which was October 8th. I adore pierogis, don't you? (I'm just not sure how to spell them plural:)
Pizza MonthWe have lots of pizza for Pizza Month. Not only did #4 Joyce contribute the fourth entry, she also contributed two, yes TWO unique pizzas. Chicken Rendang Pizza and Thousand Island Tuna Pizza at Kitchen Flavours.
And what about this Potato Pizza from #6 Lena at Frozen Wings. We sure do have some "out of the box" pizza entries, don't we?
Pork MonthLike #7 Erica says, "This week isn't really about making a recipe so much as making an ingredient. And, since October is National Pork Month, this is a great time to write about… LARD!" I totally agree. Go visit Retro Recipe Attempts to follow Erica's process for making your own home made lard. Way cool...BTW, her inspiration melded when she spied a vintage Armour Star Lard advertisement.
I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for joining the Cookbook Party. I have a few wrinkles to iron out but I'm not worried. It is the first time and I think its going rather well. I would also like to thank Linda from Linda's Vittles, Helene from Masala Herb and our Girl Chef, Heather for kicking off the #CookbookParty on twitter this past week. Rather than choose one of you tweeters, I've decided to send each one of you a small gift. Email me with your postal info when ever you get a minute. You too can win a small gift for tweeting once again this week. Check out those "dang" rules:)
Ready to begin Week Two of the Cookbook Party? I surely am. Pop over and review the "rules" and then get those recipe adaptations in. If your curious as to who this week's winner is, and what the prizes are, It's a Surprise! (Oh okay, I'll be giving you a sneak preview on Thursday:) Now, go dig out those cookbooks!!! And, have FUN! Louise

Gorza is a Hellion. A worker bee from the firey depths, if you will.
But one that has left the hive.
It could be the urge to travel and cause mischief across the lands!
It could be to find a small village and make the peasant folks his slaves to do his bidding!
It could also be that Gorza wants to flatten mountains and burn forests with his fiery breath!
But it turns out, the truth is...you can't get a decent cup of coffee in hell.Brains, sure. You can have brains raw, pureed or cooked 101 different ways.
But a good cup of coffee? No. Too smoky. Over-roasted. No cold spring water to brew with.
Even Hellions need to take a break now and then to read the local paper with a white mug of dark deliciousness.
It makes them more productive.
This figure is approximately 9.5 inches tall.

Stavanger born, Berlin based vocalist Stine Janvin Motland works with experimental music, sound and audiovisual performance. Through a diversity of projects such as the live radio play In Labour (2014), the performative installation The Subjective Frequency Transducer (2015), field recording adaptations duo Native Instrument (2015) and alter ego Stine II, she explores and challenges the physical features of the voice, the acoustics of her external/internal surroundings and new performance strategies. Her interest in the ambiguous and unrecognizable qualities of the voice, pushes her constantly to search for new ways to expand her vocal repertoire. Her recent work significantly involves imitation and abstract storytelling through sound collages referring to a variety of genres and traditions of electronic music, sound poetry, folk music and languages of various peoples, birds and animals.

UC Hastings magazine has won a Silver award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) for its Fall 2013 cover feature of Professor Osagie Obasogie.
The award was given by the CASE District VII board of directors and the CASE Awards of Excellence Committee. Colleges and universities around the West compete semiannually in this competition, which draws hundreds of entries.
The award highlighted the design and photography of the cover feature, which explores the work of Professor Obasogie. His groundbreaking scholarship on how the blind perceive race calls in to question the possibility of a post-racial society, and what that means for jurisprudence that attempts "colorblind" application of laws.
Last year, UC Hastings magazine won a Gold Pearl Award from the Custom Content Council for its Spring 2013 cover story of California Attorney General Kamala Harris '89.
"Alumni magazines serve many purposes," said Sandra Thompson '01, UC Hastings Board of Director and Chair of the Advancement & Communications Committee. "At the same time, they're not worth the paper they're printed on if no one is reading them. This is why UC Hastings goes out of our way twice a year to present impressive information about the school in a format that is engaging and visually compelling. Our content is as vivid as any article you might come across in The New Yorker or elsewhere, and it's great to see this recognized."
"UC Hastings has a proud narrative," said Chancellor & Dean Frank H. Wu. "We are revamping legal education, and our students and alumni are changing the face of the profession. Our faculty produces engaged and influential scholarship. It's a privilege to showcase these stories and more in a quality publication that attracts national attention."
Both awards recognized the photography of Jim Block. "Jim has consistently provided a look and feel to our magazine that is gorgeous and engaging," said Editorial Director Susan Kostal. "He brings out the best in all of us."

We still don't know just how good the B car segment can be, but we sure are getting close. This market is growing and automakers like Kia are serious about gaining market share with entries like the 2013 Kia Rio5 SX. We spent a week testing a signal red model and came away with plenty of impressions.
The Rio SX M/T is inspired by Kia's championship-winning motorsports efforts and the recently-introduced Rio B-spec race car. Enthusiasts are snapping these up as a limited quantity of around 500 Rio SX M/Ts will be initially offered for sale during the 2013 model year. There is no shortage of style with the new Rio SX 5, which sports exterior colors Red and Electronic Blue and comes with LED taillights, front LED accent lights, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The LED accent lights look very upscale, and the sleek skin on this car with the 17-inch alloys really gives this modestly price car a very sporty look. The chilly weather in the Midwest this March made us appreciate the heated power folding mirrors morning, noon and night.
Inside, the Rio SX M/T adds a 7-inch navigation touch screen with a Sirius XM Traffic system and push-button start with Smart Key. Other standard SX features include sport-tuned suspension, rear camera display, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, Bluetooth wireless technology, and an AM/FM/CD/ MP3 Sirius XM Satellite audio system. Our test model had black cloth seating and was very comfortable and smooth to the touch. The cabin design is modern and well planned with a balanced dashboard. Added features included air conditioning, power windows and door locks, USB and auxiliary input jacks, 60/40 split rear folding seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob, steering wheel controls, tilt and telescopic steering column, supervision meter cluster and metal finish trim and metal pedals. I will say that the back seats don't offer much legroom, so adults might be a tight fit.

Pakistan floods - our response
In 2010 Pakistan was struck by its worst ever natural disaster, one fifth of the country was inundated by floodwater causing massive damage to infrastructure.
Roads were submerged, bridges swept away, and many schools and hospitals damaged, affecting an estimated 20 million people. As the land was lost to water so were the livelihoods of the people as their crops and homes were destroyed and their livestock drowned.
The immediate aftermath
There was too much water but none of it clean or good to drink; water pipes had been swept away, and thirsty desperate people were taking unsafe water from the rivers to drink. Many areas were cut off from the rest of the country, villages and even concrete buildings had been destroyed. Many people, couldn't afford to go anywhere, not only had they lost what little they had, including their means of making a living, now they were forced into debt to escape the rising waters.
We were on hand to aid the safe evacuation of more than 240,900 people trapped by the floods in Punjab and Sindh using local search and rescue boats. Our teams on the ground responded immediately with essentials for hygiene, shelter and food. By supplying something as simple as bars of soap we were arming people with the means to defend against disease. Oxfam staff managed to reach some areas on foot, bringing with them water purifying powder which can turn bad water to good in just 20 minutes. Checks were handed out to flood affected families to help them get through the first few weeks, money they needed for food, medicine, medical bills and to pay off debts incurred when travelling to escape the floods.
"When the flood came we were just sitting in our home. The water came very fast. We could only save our children, ourselves and some clothes - we didn't even have time to save some crockery and other things. We lost everything… our home, livestock." Razia from Sindh was one of the people to receive a check following her families escape from the floods.
The floods continue
Following this initial catastrophic inundation, when 80 percent of food reserves were lost, Pakistan had four consecutive years of flood disasters destroying harvests, particularly in South Punjab and Sindh provinces which grow wheat and rice for the whole country. Each fresh flood put millions of people at renewed risk of disease and widespread malnutrition. As crops and homes were washed away, debts increased as people were forced to borrow to feed themselves and their families, homeless for months, unable to resume their usual way of making a living; nothing to eat, nothing to trade.
When they could return home, there was little enough to come back to, most having to sleep outside in makeshift shelters until their houses dried out enough to be repaired. Tents you helped us provide made a welcome change to wooden poles with cotton sheets for a roof, while people rebuilt their homes, and planted crops. We went to villages and encouraged communities to select their own community health volunteers; also providing hygiene kits and training, so that knowledge could be spread and sickness averted. Our cash for work programs provided valuable income to those in need, whilst paying them to carry out vital rebuilding work.
"We had nothing and you provided us with all these things that are very useful to us," said Ajeeba, one of the community health volunteers in Goth Zawar Suleman, in Khairpur. "We cannot say that any one of them is not useful. I want to tell you that this has been excellent and well done!"
Building the future
Successive years of flooding has meant that many have not been able to fully recover from the huge inundation of 2010. Flood defenses are not rebuilt quickly enough and each new flood they lose, or are unable to sow, their crops and are forced deeper into debt. We are helping people prepare for natural disasters and providing aid in their aftermath. Disaster preparedness is essential as each flood risks a greater humanitarian crisis than the last, with the same vulnerable people affected again and again.
Our Disaster Risk Reduction programs include contingency planning; developing early warning systems; holding evacuation drills; elevating houses and other areas for livestock and crop storage; building embankments; and spreading information campaigns so communities are better-able to prepare for emergencies.
We have called on the Pakistani government to invest more (with the aid of international donors) in such things as flood resistant housing, and effective early warning systems – especially at the village level, as well as more funding at a local level to prepare and respond to emergencies. Our girls' education program has already constructed model schools - flood-proof and equipped with sanitation facilities and we are working with district governments to replicate this model throughout affected provinces.
Oxfam also believes we must join together to combat climate change, as families all over the world are caught in a vicious spiral of falling incomes, rising food prices and declining food quality.
"A strong recovery and reconstruction strategy should be followed by intensified work led by the government to ensure Pakistanis are better prepared for future disasters," said Arif Jabbar Khan, country director of Oxfam. "We need to accelerate current efforts. With climate change set to make floods and droughts more frequent and severe, the next government should make this a priority."

That's what has happened tonight, as a giant sinkhole opened up in the outbound part of the Holland Tunnel. Crews are right now on the scene, trying to make emergency repairs. And they'll be there for a while ? up to 14 hours they say. That means tonight's commute and tomorrow morning's commute will be mightily affected.
We're there tonight at 11 with what you need to know to get around.
We're also in Newark at 11, and we might know by then who the next Mayor of Newark will be. It's been a horribly nasty race between two Democrats, City Council Ras Baraka and former state Ass't Atty. General Shavar Jeffries.
Save to say these two guys will not be exchanging holiday cards. Our political reporter Dave Evans and Eyewitness News reporter Joe Torres are covering the races for us tonight.
We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's AccuWeather forecast and Rob Powers with the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa and me, tonight at 11.

Dec. 9, 2011
BOSTON — On Thursday, everyone thought it would happen: The Boston police would evict the Occupy camp at Dewey Square. And hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the square at mayor Thomas Menino's midnight deadline to evacuate the site — some dancing and singing under the full moon, others reviewing their rights if they got arrested. Police gathered on the scene as well.
Ethan Harrison, who has emerged as a spokesperson for Occupy Boston, was resigned to what he believed was the likelihood of the camp being shut down at midnight. He pointed to two garbage trucks idling nearby as a sign of things to come. In October, he said, when the police forced the Occupiers to tear down an expansion encampment site, the City of Boston brought garbage trucks to clear out everything left behind.
"When I see this… it's something we've been expecting, like when one sees rain clouds they know that rain is coming," Harrison said.
But the deadline came and went, and the police didn't raid. A night that began with tension turned into celebration.
"Glorious. A small battle won," a protester said, as a few people chanted, "We are the 99 percent."
"No one ever said the police were coming in… there's a big crowd expected but that wasn't our intention," Boston police superintendent Bill Evans said. "We're just working to keep the street open here."
But Evans said his force was still prepared to oust residents from their tent city "when the time comes," if given the go-ahead from Menino. Two people were arrested when they refused to get out of a tent they'd moved to Atlantic Avenue.
The city did accomplish part of its purpose: Occupiers took down about half the tents voluntarily, including tents that fed homeless people and provided medical services.
In an online "report card" poll posted by WGBH News, support for the Occupiers grew overnight. About 40 percent of people responding said they would give the movement an "A" for its strategies and effectiveness. However, the question is divisive. 32 percent gave the movement a "D" or "F." Take the poll yourself to grade Occupy Boston.

Kaplan: Nearly Half of Recent Nursing School Graduates Are Concerned About Being Bullied at Work
Friday, August 29th, 2014
Business Wire – August 28, 2014 – Kaplan Survey
For those entering the workforce, typical top-of-mind issues include opportunities for growth, benefits, and job security — but nearly half of those entering the nursing profession voice another concern: being bullied by colleagues. According to a just-released Kaplan survey of over 2,000 nursing school graduates from the class of 2014, 48% say they are concerned about being the victims of workplace bullying or working in a hostile working environment.* The survey also found that 39% personally knew nurses who were victims of workplace bullying or a hostile working environment.
One widely cited study found that approximately 60% of nurses left their first nursing job within six months because of bullying issues or because of a hostile work environment.** And studies conducted over the past decade show there's a financial cost to this for medical providers, ranging from $22,000 to over $64,400 per turnover. (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/569393_2).

"Doubt: A Parable," the play that won John Patrick Shanley a Pulitzer and a Tony, is centered on a conflict as nebulous as its title suggests: In 1964, a no-nonsense nun with nothing to go on but circumstantial evidence and her intuition accuses a beloved priest of improprieties with a 12-year-old boy.
As staged by Andrews Living Arts Studio in Fort Lauderdale, the production is just as hard to pin down, with whole scenes starting out strong, or having a solid center, before evaporating their dramatic hold on us like melodramatic mist.
It's maddening, because there are flashes of good theater here.
For example, Lory Reyes is slow in ramping up the role of Sister Aloyious Beauvier, the rigid nun who is eager to pounce on any wisp of a challenge to her vigilance as head of a Bronx church school. In her early scenes, the dialogue comes out of her as if she's thought it all out, rehearsed it carefully rather than listening carefully, even skillfully, for any minuscule factoid that might justify her deep mistrust of her students, her clergymen, her everything. Then, in later scenes, her furrowed brow and hands held stiffly to her side do little to hide the seething anger, as her words come spilling out, volcanic if not a superbly controlled lava flow.
Her nemesis, Father Brendan Flynn, played by Edward Otto Zielke, does just fine delivering his sermons — alone, center stage and taking his time to let the words sink in. But when he has to spar with Sister Beauvier, his voice rises from a comfortable baritone to a screechy tenor, and his eyes go dead, as if he's trying to remember lines rather than arm himself against a frontal assault.
Support comes from Yanina Aranes as Sister James, whose slip ignites the play, and Shani Louis as Mrs. Muller, whose son is not only the first African-American student to enroll in the school but the troubled youth whom Sister Beauvier believed Father Flynn took advantage of. They are both fine, Aranes registering visible discomfort as the noose tightens, and Louis' eyes showing the hurt and exhaustion when she reveals her unhappy home life. Conversely, they are also both prone to "actorly" inorganic stretches, falling back and relying on technique when their characters — momentarily — leave them.
In between all that, there is some clunky blocking and less-than-graceful scene changes, leaving this production of "Doubt: A Parable" a bit of a mixed blessing.
When: 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 3 p.m. matinees Sundays through Feb. 23

PET/CT scan is a type of imaging test that combines
positron emission tomography
(PET) and
computed tomography
(CT) techniques.
Combined PET/CT scans can be performed on any part of the body.
PET scans use a radioactive tracer that is introduced into your body to measure the cellular activity of the cell type or body part being scanned. A CT scan takes a large number of x-rays. These are analyzed by a computer to create a 3-dimensional image of the body part being studied. When both tests are performed at the same time, the information about function and structure is integrated through computer models.
Because PET/CT scans provide a combination of information about the function and structure of a body part, they are useful for the early diagnosis of cancer. Not only can an abnormal tumor be seen, but the function of the cells that make up the tumor can be analyzed as well. This can help to differentiate between cancerous and noncancerous growths.
PET/CT can also be used to see if cancer has spread into other areas of the body.
Brain, endocrine, and heart disorders are also studied using PET/CT scans.
Some possible complications with this test include:
Prepare a list of medications you are taking and bring the list with you to the test. If you have
diabetes, discuss taking your diabetic medications and/or insulin with your doctor prior to the test. An abnormal blood glucose level may interfere with the tests results.
Let your doctor know if you have kidney disease. The doctor may need to take steps to avoid kidney injury during the test.
To prepare for your test, you may need to do the following several hours in advance:
If you are breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before you go for your test. Your doctor may recommend that you pump breast milk ahead of time and use it until the contrast materials are no longer in your body.
At the test center, the staff will ask if you have or ever have had:
A PET/CT scan takes about a total of 2 hours to complete. The injection occurs about an hour prior to the start of the scan. The scan itself takes about 35 minutes.
The placement of the IV may give you some discomfort, but there should be no other pain involved. You may feel some flushing when the tracer material is injected.
Based on the results, your doctor will decide if any further tests or treatments are needed.
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

When my roommate backed out at the last second I was in a huge bind to find a place. I found more than enough great options for me. Within two days I had made contact with several renters and narrowed it down to my top 2 or 3. After that it was history. I really value your service - this is simply the best roommate site on the internet. Hands down. Now I gotta go move, see ya! - Ben
Thanks for providing a great service. Your site was the most useful resource I encountered because of the room mail feature. Being able to make preliminary, semi-anonymous contacts with prospective roommates not only speeds the process of finding a roommate, but also allows for more selectivity in choosing someone who will work well with one's circumstances. -Alexandra

As if AT&T doesn't have enough exclusives to drive customers away from other carriers and into their expensive (but well covered) arms, today the US carrier will start selling a red version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 for $199 on contract.
Aside from its very rouge exterior, AT&T's exclusive Red Aurora Samsung Galaxy S4 is no different than the boring ol' Black Mist and White Frost versions we've already come to know and love. You still get a 5-inch full HD 1080 display, a 13MP camera and of course, access to AT&T's LTE network.
The Red Aurora S4 is just the latest in a string of AT&T exclusives. Ma Bell looks to be going all-out on offense, securing as many handsets and special edition devices as possible to use as ammunition against rival carriers. It's not like other carriers aren't participating; T-Mobile just announced the Sony Xperia Z as an exclusive today. But AT&T seems especially keen to open their pocketbooks and tempt manufacturers.
What do you say? Do you see a red Galaxy S4 in your future, or does something else have your attention?

From helping with endangered animals like pandas, turtles and gorillas, building a brighter future for youth around the world, teaching skills to communities that need your help, or protecting the earth with conservation efforts, you can find a project that fits you. View our volunteer projects online, or check out our brochure.
Volunteer at more than 90 projects world wide with STA Travel
|Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is all about making a greater contribution. Giving back and gaining lots too. By volunteering at a project, you are making a positive difference to the lives of others on a much deeper level; by donating your time, energy and experience. All of our projects aim to help local people achieve a sustainable way of life in an environmentally sensitive manner, as well as assist conservation and communities worldwide.
You don't need specific qualifications or skills to volunteer either - just a desire to lend a hand, immerse yourself and learn more about what life is like elsewhere in the world.
|Why Pay to Volunteer?
Handing over your hard-earned cash in return for life-changing volunteer work might not make much sense to you, so let us make things a little clearer. Keeping you safe in some pretty challenging environments doesn't come cheap. You need support and guidance wherever you are in the world and our projects ensure you have this.
Each volunteer project requires materials, equipment, personnel, and training and in some cases, includes food costs. Some projects can take years to carefully set up, especially those in very remote and poor communities. A significant donation to the project is included in the price which provides vital income to the local community, so you can be sure that the time and money you invest volunteering is well spent and will make a sustainable difference.
|Top 10 Tips for Volunteering
• Plan ahead and think about why you want to volunteer, what you want to achieve and how long you be gone
• Exhibit enthusiasm and willingness
• Arm yourself with a positive attitude – your experience will, as a result, be an enriching and fulfilling one
• Have patience and determination – what you offer is recognized, appreciated and needed
• Be open minded – the more you put into the project the more you will get out of it
• Ask what has been achieved by other volunteers and how much of the fee goes to the project(s)
• Be sensitive to the culture in which you are visiting and be aware of ecosystem fragility
• Be committed and follow the rules of the project
• Try to ensure that your stay brings benefits to the wider community

Categories Comments Campus Safety
Very safe due to the calm location. There's a couple emergency buttons around campus you can press for immediate help from campus security.
Greek Life
Clubs and Activities
The number of available clubs is limited by lack of student interest. However, the clubs we do have are surprisingly very popular. The largest ones are the video game club, paranormal club, community service club (includes THON), and the Blue and White Society. There are a couple different student government clubs, and a couple small clubs like the science club and the paintball club. I'm not the person to ask about our sports teams, but I can say that the band and chorus are growing to be quite large.
Great for these types of students
Based on the current population, I would say it is especially fitted for the financially conscious, commuters, transfer, part time, and return students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Sometimes there's a bit of a parking problem whenever Worthington or the church next door hosts an event. I find it amusing that when this happens, students use the old tennis court to compensate the lack of spots. There's no lines painted, but they always park very neatly.
Bang for the buck
Easily one of the best points in choosing this school. It's a great price for a Penn State degree. The 2+2 plan is a lifesaver as well if you want to commute but Worthington doesn't offer the major of your choosing. You take two years of basic general education classes at one campus, then transfer to a larger Penn State Campus that offers the rest of the classes you need for the major. Commuting to Worthington for the first two years saves valuable funds that would otherwise have been spent on food and board.
What to do for fun
There's lots of creative free events, usually with lunch provided. One time I stuffed a toy moose, another time I iced a personal sized cake. Be sure to take advantage of the free massages provided the week before finals. Don't be afraid to show up to an event just for the food, no one will mind. They also offer free trips to places like New York, Harrisburg, and baseball games. Dunmore is a very quiet town, so there's not too much to do for fun. But take a drive to neighboring Scranton and you're sure to find something to entertain you.
Food and Dining
The food is great for anyone who still enjoys ordering off the kids' menu. Don't lie, that's probably you too. Most students eat chicken fingers, curly fries, and pizza five days a week. They also offer a salad bar, some cold sandwich options and an ignored hot food option that changes daily. I've heard that the school is going to work on the lunch options soon. The eating areas are very nice. There's the View Cafe, which has a wall of windows overlooking the mountain range, as well as various outdoor locations. On warmer days, the courtyard directly outside the cafeteria is comfortably populated. If you're looking to study while you eat, there's quite a couple picnic tables in peaceful locations around campus.
Dorm Life
There is a privately owned dorm building located practically on the campus. I've never been inside, but it looks new, secure, and expensive. As far as I know, only a few students dorm there. I've never heard them complain about it.
Academic Rigor
In most ways, the class difficulty is what you would expect from a college. General education classes are relatively easy while more detailed subjects like calculus and organic chemistry are more difficult. None of the classes have those crazy teachers who make it almost impossible to pass. In fact, the vast majority of them are extremely caring, understanding, and helpful. They encourage and reward students for coming to them for help. The free tutoring center is supportive as well. The tutors are usually students who have already completed the class and they go out of their way to help you succeed.
Tips for prospective students
For someone considering Penn State Worthington-Scranton, it's definitely important to visit campus. The school is great in so many ways, but you need to see if you like the small campus environment. There are only five buildings and about 1,300 students. It's easy to feel at home with the small class sizes and friendly teachers. However, if you prefer a busy party school, you might want to try the University Park campus instead.
In three sentences
Worthington is a calm and scenic campus with small class sizes and helpful teachers. On campus dining is limited, but the free food at the numerous school and club hosted events helps make up for it. This is a practical choice for anyone committed to earning a degree without a mountain of student loan debt.

Penn State Worthington is a very safe campus an the security is very aware of what is going on.
Clubs and Activities
There are lots of exciting activities on campus almost everyday from 12 until 1 in the cafeteria. Also there are a vast variety of clubs and sports to participate in.

I have never ate in the cafeteria.

No dorms
In three sentences
Penn State Worthington is well structured. The campus is very appealing, and provides great resources for learning.The professors are understanding and well mannered, they care about your education.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students
There are tons of clubs and activities going on during the day on campus. If there isn't a club that you want to join, then start up a new club!
Will enjoy being here
I've been on campus plenty of times and I have enjoyed being there every single time. If you let it be fun, you will enjoy your time there.
Academic Rigor
I have sat in a few classes at Penn State Worthington Scranton. From what I saw, I do know that I will learn plenty of new information. I also have a very strong feeling that I will also learn about life in general on campus.

Let's face it, finishing year-end tasks and finding enough time to strategically plan for next year requires discipline. Across town, forward thinking consultants are meeting with clients to discuss performance expectations and important dates to mark on calendars. Perhaps the most important use of these conversations is to remind clients that overall performance in pursuit of future goals tends to settle in and develop over a period of months, not weeks. Why? Governments are operating in environments of constant change, which directly affects the collective fed-contractor chemistry required to tackle, adjust and execute most all strategic planning goals.
Given this environment, future scenario planning will help you reach your strategic planning outcomes. Faced with several potential futures, it is important to know how your organization will be positioned to mitigate risk, meet deadlines, manage communications and allocate resources.
To better understand how the future is unfolding against your goals, the following steps will help your team manage change and exceed performance expectations:
1. Follow congressional developments. Follow the upcoming votes by House and Senate lawmakers to pass a budget deal and avoid another government shutdown. Tracking legislative outcomes and holding cross-organizational planning meetings now will help your team prioritize 2014 goals. Throughout the year, monitor committee hearings and trade association Hill days that support the mission of your office; this will help you better understand how Congress works and what information is needed in future legislative outreach planning.
2. Project-plan your work; know your budgets, bandwidth and deadlines. Projects can be unpredictable, and planning for certain inevitabilities is vital to maintaining progress. Proper risk management practices, such as establishing budget reserves and building in lag times for delays, should be implemented at the onset to provide contingencies in case projects go off course because of unforeseen changes with budgets, schedules or scope.
3. Track stakeholder events and coordinate calendars with colleagues. With stricter travel guidelines and budgets, it can be a difficult and long process to secure approval to attend targeted events. Developing a calendar of events with deadlines for submitting speaking engagement abstracts, reserving exhibit space and booking travel will ensure your team has adequate time to submit such requests. Outreach calendars also improve information sharing and collaboration, enabling projects to use limited resources wisely and avoid duplication when engaging key voices.
4. Plan ahead for staffing level changes. Whether it's at the client or contractor level, sometimes the most dramatic changes happen when new employees are brought into an organization. Future scenario planning provides common understanding for what is required in this situation. New federal staff often requires briefing materials, for example, while the addition of contractor staff requires an onboarding window. Prepare a checklist now to be ahead of the curve.
5. Foster a culture where future scenario planning is part of routine day-to-day business. Incorporating future scenario planning into team meetings and other collaboration platforms will bring your team together around important goals and contingency planning discussions. It is during these sessions that you'll exchange questions, share client feedback, and consider options you may never have thought about before. Lastly, cataloging lessons learned from past projects and staying in contact with users who can provide feedback on changing needs from the field is critical to managing expectations when change is constant.
In short, future scenario planning becomes one of your most important tools for communicating with your colleagues and stakeholder partners. Future posts in the New Year will focus on the specific requirements, including how to update strategic communications plans that respond to changing environments. The hope is you will find this discussion helpful and that it plays a small role in your continued success. Let us know if future scenario planning worked for you.

AUSTRIAN skier Anna Fenninger romped to her first Winter Olympics gold medal in the ladies' super-G on Saturday.
The 24-year-old stormed down the tricky Rosa Khutor Alpine Center course in a time of one minute 25.52 seconds to seal victory by a comfortable margin.
Maria Hoefl-Riesch was the pre-event favourite after triumphing in the super combined earlier this week, but the German had to settle for silver after finishing 0.55secs adrift of Fenninger, while Nicole Hosp earned bronze.
Fenninger's success continued Austria's dominance in this event, with her compatriots Michaela Dorfmeister winning at Turin 2006 and Andrea Fischbacher succeeding her four years later in Vancouver.
"I only realised what had happened when I stood on the top of the podium," Fenninger said.
"My feeling is indescribable. I just hope the realisation will sink in the way I imagined it so I can properly enjoy myself by this evening."
Charlotte Kalla produced a stunning last lap to propel Sweden to a gold medal in the women's cross country 4x5km relay.
Kalla entered the final lap 16 seconds behind the Finnish team, but skied the fastest lap of the race to overhaul Finland's Krista Lahteenmaki and Denise Herrmann of Germany, who claimed silver and bronze for their countries respectively.
Defending champions and pre-race favourites Norway finished outside the medals in fifth place.
In the opening quarter-final of the women's ice hockey tournament, Sweden sprang a surprise by beating Nordic neighbours Finland 4-2 and will now face the United States in the semis.
Finland went ahead in the second period through Venla Hovi, but goals from Anna Borgqvist and Lina Wester gave Sweden the edge.
Emma Nuutinen levelled things up once more for the Finns, only for Emma Eliasson and Emma Nordin to send the Swedes into the last

Which moment from a comic this week caught your interest?
WRITERS NOTE: I never tried doing this before, but wanted to try something new. Plus tap into an audience beyond the forums of the Outhouse, namely Facebook and Twitter. So if you want to nominate any comic that's come out this week go right ahead. I'll tally them and acknowledge you bellow.
YOUR WINNER for 4/24/13:
"PTOO! A necromancer. A summoner. I will not tolerate this man speaking to me." - New Avengers #5
This thread will contain SPOILERS!!! And lots of them. If you haven't read this week's comics yet, go read them before continuing into this thread, or risk being spoiled!
PLEASE NOTE!!!!!! ]Remember to include the title and issue number of the comic you are nominating. Otherwise I will be forced to disqualify your nomination, and nobody wants that!
The Rules:
1. Each nomination must be a moment in a comic released the week of the thread. This does not include weekly previews, trade paperbacks, or back issue digests. For new comics check out Midtown Comics release dates.
2. Everyone can make ONE nomination. You can either nominate a moment yourself or second/third/fourth/fifth an already existing nomination. However, second/third/fourth/fifth will not count per nominating and thus earn entry above in Top Nominations. You want in that list you must nominate something.
3. It must be an actual moment involving the actions or statements of a comic character in an issue. No "This writer returns to the series", "this artist draws this character", "the book is better", etc.
4. If you want to change your nomination, there are a few factors involved:
---> A) No one can have seconded your nom.
---> B) If it is clear for you to change your nom, you must edit your original post or the new post will be disqualified as being a double nomination.
---> C) You can change your second, third, etc. by editing your original post before the nomination period ends.
Moments on the poll do not have to be seconded. If there is room in the poll, moments that were nominated but not seconded will be added based on the order they were nominated.
6. Again, please be specific on the comic title, issue number and moment. Also be clear that you are actually nominating or seconding something ... statements such as "Yeah, that was a cool moment" aren't clear. You must nominate a single moment in the comic and can't nominate the whole issue. Once more, if you don't include the issue and number the moment will not be included.
7. The thread for nominations will go up on Wednesday (new comic day) at 11:00 PM (Central) or when Zechs arrives later that night and posts in the previous week thread announcing voting is closed. The nominations will go until 2:00 PM (Central Time) Sunday Afternoon, or whenever Zechs arrives and will post in the thread stating, "It's over." and will start the poll. If a new comic day falls on a holiday week in American, then the thread will be made for that day (be it Tuesday or Thursday). Regardless, nominations will STILL conclude on Saturday deadline.
8. Please be civil when commenting on other people's nominations. But feel free to discuss them in this thread.
9. In case there is debate on WHEN exactly a title came out, http://www.midtowncomics.com or the official websites of said publishers (be it Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, etc.) will be the final word on the quarrel.
10. Any nominations not following the above rules will be disqualified. Unless of course if Zechs, who is feeling sad for the person who missed the rule and might give them time to provide the correction. Then he will pester bk into putting the nomination in the poll. Of course this wouldn't be a problem if Zechs wasn't granted the glorious powers of a moderator, which one day such power will be Zechs, oh yes they will his.
11. If at five nominations are not made, Zechs will choose some, but they will all count as one nomination, not multiple thus making sure balance is preserved.
12. AKA the Rulk rule. If several moments are tied past the deadline of 11:00 PM (Central Time) Wednesday (or holiday date when new comics arrive in the US) or when Zechs arrives that night, then voting will continue on in sudden death for eight more hours, until one is decided. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. If one isn't still decided, then Zechs will provide the deciding vote regardless if he has voted already.
13. AKA the Hobgoblin rule. Roderick Kingsley Hobgoblin moments when winning for three days straight automatically win the poll. No last day or second voting changes it to troll the ruler of this thread.
14. Any moments from Batgirl volume 4 loses by default.
Only ONE can rule as the Moment of the Week!
